Using a Commercial Cleaning Service Versus Do-It-Yourself

Are you responsible for commercial premises such as offices or retail units? If the answer is yes, then maintaining the property and keeping it clean is an important aspect of your role. You’ll need to decide if cleaning is a task that you should undertake yourself, or if hiring a professional commercial cleaning services company is the better solution. Here is a comparison of the two options to help you make an informed decision about whether to hire cleaners or just complete the task yourself.

Time

The first comparison to make is that of the time it takes you to complete the task compared to cleaners. As professionals, a cleaning company is likely to be able to complete your office cleaning much quicker than you would be able to do it yourself. Also, if you’re spending time cleaning, it probably means that you’re not concentrating on other aspects of your organisation. By hiring a commercial cleaning services company, you’ll free up your time for other more important tasks. Similarly, you could delegate the cleaning to an employee, but this would take them away from their regular duties.

Money

At first, you may think that doing the cleaning yourself compares favourably in monetary terms versus hiring professionals to do it for you. Obviously, you can do it for free and cleaners will cost money. However, you need to consider the cost of time taken away from your main role. Will taking time out from your organisation impact on issues such as sales or profits? Will it affect your ability to run the organisation well and be successful? When you ask yourself these questions, you may realise that, in the long-term, commercial cleaning services are actually very cost-effective.

Quality of finish

The last factor to consider is who will do the job better. Even if you’re fantastic at cleaning, a professional service is likely to be better. They have a lot of experience of cleaning offices to a high standard, will use the products best suited to each task and they’ll know all the tricks of the trade to solve any complex cleaning problems. They will also clean in places that you might forget about, such as behind furniture and in other places that you can’t see. Opting for a quality service means that your offices will look and smell better, it will create an improved working environment for your employees and the premises will be much more hygienic.
